A
post on NeoGAF from Respawn Entertainment's Drew McCoy reacts to conspiracy
theories suggesting that Titanfall's positive reception is the result of
them bribing corrupt game journalists to favor the mech shooter (thanks
OXM via
VG247). Here's what he had to say:

Anyone who thinks we weren't
living in the shadow of decade+ old established franchises at our reveal at E3
are as crazy as their conspiracy theories of anyone getting paid off. We've had
to fight tooth and nail to have a game that anyone would even know existed, let
alone be excited for and want to create coverage of. I get it that its not for
everyone, but to say we're paying anyone off is downright insanity. Not to
mention the height of insulting.

I 100% agree. After playing the beta the game doesn't live up to the hype, it exceeds it. I paid $48 to preorder but if I had to pay $60 I would. The controls are tight and responsive, the graphics are very good, the ability to fly and climb walls basically kills the idea of camping since someone can come at you from anywhere and despite being 6v6 there was never a lack of action. It really reminds me of a FPS version of League of Legends to some extent.
